Patent number: 6531026Abstract: A method for mounting electronic elements, comprises the step of arranging a thermosetting adhesive between a circuit board, situated on a stage, and an electronic element to be connected with the wiring pattern of the circuit board, and then bonding the electronic element to the circuit board by the application of heat and pressure from the electronic element side. The electronic element is temporarily thermocompression-bonded to the circuit board such that the thermosetting reaction rate of the thermosetting adhesive on the side of the circuit board is lower than the thermosetting reaction rate on the side of the electronic element. The thermosetting adhesive is then set finally in order to bond the electronic element to the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2000Date of Patent: March 11, 2003Assignee: Sony Chemicals Corp.Inventors: Motohide Takeichi, Yukio Yamada

Patent number: 6482289Abstract: An assembly and method for connecting two substrates utilizes a nonconductive laminant that is compatible when wet with a conductive paste when wet. Thus, the curing of the nonconductive laminant and the conductive paste may be performed together. The nonconductive laminant also cures in a shorter time than those previously available, thus the stress on the semiconductor device created by exposure to the cure temperature is additionally reduced.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1995Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Treliant Fang, Melissa E. Grupen-Shemansky, Shun-Meen Kuo

Patent number: 6478909Abstract: A method for surface mounting electrical components to a substrate, such as a printed circuitboard, involves use of an anisotropically conductive adhesive or Z-Axis adhesive between facing conductive surface areas on the component and substrate. Pressure is applied to the conductive adhesive by a nonconducting adhesive that is first cured between oppositely facing nonconductive surface areas of the component and substrate. This fixes the thickness of each layer of the conductive adhesive at a dimension no greater than its design conductive thickness. In a first submethod, the nonconducting adhesive is a fast setting adhesive subjected to mechanical pressure only as it is assembled on the substrate prior to the subsequent curing of the conductive adhesive. In a second submethod, it is a high shrinkage adhesive that applies compressive force between the component and substrate as it cures and shrinks dimensionally while at a temperature below the subsequent curing temperature of the conductive adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2000Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Mark E. Tuttle

Patent number: 6439550Abstract: A vehicle (e.g., a truck) rubber air spring is bonded to a seat of a fixturing sleeve. A bead of the air spring has a rubber primer thereon and the seat of the fixturing sleeve has a fixturing primer thereon. An adhesive located between the rubber and fixturing primers permanently secures the air spring to the sleeve seat.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1997Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: BFS Diversified Products, LLCInventor: Russell W.

Patent number: 6387205Abstract: A method for coating cloth especially fiberglass sheets with a thermosetting resin and resulting structure is provided. The coating is performed in two steps. In the first step, essentially all of the strands of the fiberglass are coated with the resin/solvent mixture while maintaining at least some of the interstices or openings essentially free of the solvent mixture. This first coating is then partially cured to between about 70% and 90% of full cure. The coated fiberglass with partially cured resin thereon is then given a second coating of either the same or different thermosetting resin mixture which coats the first coating and fills in the interstices between the fibers. This second coating is then partially cured, which advances the cure of the first coating past 80% full cure and results in an impregnated fiberglass cloth structure for use as sticker sheets.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2000Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bernd Karl Appelt, William Thomas Fotorny, Robert Maynard Japp, Kostantinos Papathomas, Mark David Poliks
